About half an hour later, Urara and the others arrived at the training room and found Tang Han sitting on the open ground a few meters away from the door.
Everyone was a little curious. There were clearly chairs inside the training room, so why had Trainer Tang Han chosen to sit outside on the bare ground instead?
But Tang Han often did baffling things in daily life, so after a moment's thought, nobody found it particularly strange.
"Trainer-san, hello~"
"Hello, everyone," Tang Han replied as he got to his feet.
Then he noticed that, besides the five girls he had expected—Urara, Rice Shower, King Halo, Tokai Teio, and Mejiro McQueen—there was one extra horse girl in the group.
She was tall, silver-haired, with straight-cut bangs and a little cylindrical cap on her head. The round covers at the sides of it looked a bit like an old telegraph operator's headset. Her gaze was flat and detached, as though she had already seen through all the petty amusements of this world.
By now, anyone familiar with the cast had probably guessed who she was.
She was none other than the great Gold Ship herself—the abstract alien horse girl, one of the true gods of bizarre fanfic, and every trainer's bro.
"Hello!" Gold Ship greeted Tang Han enthusiastically.
She had come with Mejiro McQueen today for one reason: to find Tang Han.
Over the past few days, Gold Ship—who loved pranking McQueen on a regular basis—had noticed that McQueen seemed to be secretly drinking something behind everyone's backs.
It looked like honey drink.
Now, McQueen sneaking sweets was perfectly normal. But Gold Ship had a gut feeling that this was no ordinary snack situation.
So she deployed a little trick, successfully snatched one cup of honey drink from McQueen, and before McQueen could take it back, she took a huge gulp straight through the straw—despite the fact that McQueen had already used it.
The S-rank honey drink slid down her throat.
In that instant, Gold Ship froze.
But instead of reacting like an ordinary first-time drinker of S-rank honey drink—bursting with joy—she dropped to her knees with a mournful expression.
Just as McQueen started wondering whether Gold Ship had suddenly come down with some bizarre illness and needed emergency treatment, Gold Ship lifted her head, looked at McQueen with tears streaming down her face, and said sorrowfully:
"Master… I want… I want to learn how to make honey drink…"
McQueen: "…"
After that, Gold Ship hounded McQueen nonstop, begging her to teach her how to make honey drink. She begged during meals, begged in the bathroom, and even crawled out of her blanket at night to beg some more.
At last, unable to take it any longer, McQueen had no choice but to bring her here to meet Tang Han.
"I'm sorry, Tang Han Trainer…" McQueen blamed herself deeply. "I broke my promise…"
Tang Han had made an agreement with her before: she was not to let anyone else find out about the honey drink. If the secret got out, he would stop providing it.
And now she had failed to keep her word.
McQueen was anxious.
What should she do? What should she do? She absolutely could not accept a future in which she could no longer enjoy S-rank honey drink every day.
Maybe… maybe she really should just kidnap Tang Han and bring him home. That way, promises would stop mattering altogether.
"Tang Han Trainer…" McQueen touched the anti-pervert baton hidden at her waist, already preparing to knock him out and drag him away as soon as she caught him alone.
What surprised her, though, was that Tang Han was not angry at all when he saw Gold Ship.
If anything, he looked delighted.
"Whoa! Gold Ship!" Tang Han exclaimed in shock.
It was Bro Ship himself!
Gold Ship's behavior could be incomprehensible at times, and people often called her some kind of bizarre extraterrestrial creature, but it was precisely that brand of absurdity that made her immune to the corrupting power of the so-called monster letters. She ranked first among the true gods.
"I've heard so much about you!" Tang Han and Gold Ship said at the exact same time.
The two of them blinked.
"You know me?" they asked in unison.
"Of course!"
Each of them thought for a second.
Then Gold Ship suddenly asked, "Why can't astronauts cry in space?"
"Because without gravity, tears can't fall," Tang Han replied.
"How many times can a single sheet of paper be folded at most?"
"Nine."
"Bingo~" Gold Ship gave him a thumbs-up.
"My turn." Tang Han thought for a moment, then asked, "Which bird can't distinguish colors?"
"Owls."
"In the human body, what's the strongest muscle?"
"The tongue. Bleh~" Gold Ship stuck hers out.
"Hahahahaha!"
Tang Han and Gold Ship threw their arms wide and laughed together.
For some inexplicable reason, their wavelengths had aligned perfectly.
To the girls watching nearby, it honestly looked like Tang Han and Gold Ship were long-lost siblings who shared the same brain.
"Interesting," Gold Ship said, looking at Tang Han. She could not remember the last time she had had this much fun.
She had come to catch a master honey-drink maker, only to stumble across someone who actually resonated with her frequency.
She was definitely coming back to hang out with him in the future.
"Bro Ship truly is a bro," Tang Han thought happily.
With Gold Ship around, his sense of security shot through the roof.
He absolutely had to pull her into his sparring team.
"Please join my team, Bro Ship!" Tang Han invited with complete sincerity.
"Bro Ship?" Gold Ship found the title a little odd, but did not dwell on it.
"Hoho, interesting. But in exchange, you have to teach me how to make honey drink."
"Then from now on, we each address the other our own way. I'll call you Bro, and you call me Master."
"Deal!"
Tang Han and Gold Ship slung their arms over each other's shoulders and laughed uproariously.
The others were stunned.
Had these two not only just met for the first time?
How had they already become sworn brothers this quickly?
And more importantly—Tang Han Trainer had just invited yet another horse girl into his team?!
Were the rest of them not enough already?
Tokai Teio, Mejiro McQueen, and King Halo all instantly felt a little displeased.
And just like that, Gold Ship joined Tang Han's squad.
"Oh right, Trainer-san," Urara said, "our team still doesn't have a name yet."
"A team name…" Tang Han thought seriously for a while, then suddenly came up with an inspired idea.
"How about Team Tucker?"
"Team Tucker?"
"That's right."
Tang Han had already started imagining how he would introduce the team members.
"This is Team Member Tokai Teio. No one can rival her flexibility."
"This is Team Member Gold Ship. Want to learn about extraterrestrial life? She's the alien horse girl currently invading Earth."
"Team Member Mejiro McQueen. She's mochi."
"And one more… I think… might possibly be Team Member King Halo."
"I am Tang Han, captain of Team Tucker."
"Add Urara and Rice Shower, and that makes three people. Thus: Team Tucker."
Yes.
Perfect.
